"Ge-Gene, where have you been all this while? Do you have any idea how worried we were that we even thought you were dead? We even dispatched so many people to look for you for more than ten days. Why didn’t you give us a call at all?" Germaine suppressed the anxiety she felt and pretended to be very concerned as she spoke.Eugene's lips vaguely curled into a cold smirk. "If I had let you guys know about my whereabouts, do you think I'd still be alive today?"He really could not comprehend Austin being so eager to take over the position of the head of the family to the point where he did not even let Sharon off the hook!Even if he were at his very last breath, he would also come back to stop Austin!"What are you talking about, Eugene?" Germaine laughed dryly and looked at her son. 'What should we do now?'My son is just about to be the head of the family… Could it be that we’re going to fail again this time?'Austin was also astonished that Eugene would show up at this moment.
"Things have progressed to such a state, yet you're still able to laugh?! You're really a cold-blooded human! I don't have a brother like you!" Eugene said angrily."I didn't expect… I didn't expect… that I would still lose." It was as if Austin was muttering to himself. He then glared at Eugene coldly and said ruthlessly, "Why can’t you just let me take the position as head of the family? In which aspect am I lacking compared to you? Is it just because I'm disabled?"He was so close to being the head of the family. He was not satisfied!Eugene's eyes became dark. "You could fight it out fair and square if you wanted to be the head of the family. You shouldn’t have tried getting it by using an underhanded method!""F*ck you! Don't come telling me about being fair and square. In this world, there's no such thing as being fair!" Austin's face stiffened and he roared softly, "The moment you were born, you were destined to be the heir. What's the point of me being the second eldest bro
Perhaps because Austin had already fired a shot which made his agitated emotions calm down, he did not fire another shot at Autumn.After Frank brought Autumn out, the people inside could still hear her shrieking frantically. "Caleb, you should go to hell! You've caused the death of my man… You should go to hell!"The people at the scene knew that Caleb was Eugene and Sharon's father. Of course, he was also the father to Austin and Jim.'Were there other conflicts between Autumn and Caleb that we're not aware of?'Germaine suddenly laughed. "Haha… You guys heard it, right? Autumn, that crazy woman, cheated on Caleb!"Sharon's eyes glittered as if she knew who was the man her mother mentioned earlier. 'That man must be my adopted father, Gavin…'So Mom never loved Dad since the very beginning?'Suddenly, she recalled what her mother had said earlier on. Her mother had said that her biological father was not Caleb and was Gavin instead.She had only mentioned it to Simon as she h
Germaine was stunned. 'Did the old master conduct a test with Sharon?'She had forgotten the fact that with the old master's cautious personality, he would not allow Sharon to return to the Newton household if there was a chance she was a fake.Her expression suddenly changed for the worse…Sharon heard the old master's words and stared at him. After returning to the Newton household for so long, this was the first time she saw him protecting her…"Sienna is my biological granddaughter. Her mother didn't cheat on Caleb. It was a shameless secretary like you who seduced him. If it weren’t because you were pregnant with a child of the Newton family, I would’ve made Caleb chase you out of the house!" Quinn said ruthlessly.'It turns out he never liked me from the beginning. So how would he like the kid I gave birth to?’Sharon immediately understood everything when Quinn put it that way. He was not trying to protect her but the pride of the Newton family as well as Caleb's pride."
In the spacious conference room, dead silence followed after the two gunshots.Those elderly who were hiding under the table dared not take deep breaths.'So… Did the head of our family, Eugene, get shot?'After Sharon shouted, her eyes were open wide as she stared at Eugene without blinking. She was so scared that her body was trembling."Brother… Eugene, are… Are you alright?" she asked with a shaky voice as she grabbed Austin’s hand tightly, hoping to feel some strength in his body.Seeing that Austin was sitting down without moving an inch, she was wondering whether he had been shot."Aus!" Germaine suddenly shrieked.Thump! Following that sound, the pistol in Austin's hand dropped to the floor!Everyone looked at him and found that there was a bloody hole in Austin's chest. Fresh blood was spurting out from the wound…'He was shot?'What’s going on? Did Eugene get shot as well?'At that moment, everyone could clearly see that there was a pistol in Eugene's hand. No one
Eugene looked at Austin who had stopped breathing. He felt a pinch in his heart. After all, this was not the outcome he desired.He really had no intentions of taking his brother's life away. It was just that if he had not fired that shot during that scene earlier, the person who would be dead now was himself.…Ultimately, Quinn still called the family doctor over, but it was already too late. Austin's heartbeat had stopped a long time ago.The elderly who were terrified had long ago fled the scene. The Newton household had regained its hush.Germaine cried till she passed out and was sent back to her room to get some rest.The servants settled Austin's corpse and placed him in a wooden coffin."This ungrateful brat was cold-hearted and even tried to assassinate his siblings. He also pointed a pistol at me, trying to threaten me. Now that he's dead, it’s what he deserved. However, seeing that he was also a descendant of the Newton family, I’ll still organize a funeral for him."
"President Eugene, do you want me to explain it to Miss Thompson?" Wyatt wanted to help when he noticed his boss was being misunderstood.Eugene kept looking at Fern's back figure that was leaving and shook his head. "No need for that. Just let her go." There were some things that could not be settled by just an explanation."So it was Fern who took you in when you were missing." Sharon had overheard their conversation.Coincidentally, she was about to leave as well, and Simon was pushing her out."Back then, President Eugene was being chased after. I had no choice but to send President Eugene over to Fern's place to take shelter." Wyatt was afraid that even Sharon might misunderstand and took the initiative to explain on his boss' behalf.Sharon vaguely smiled and raised her brows. "You immediately thought about her when you were being chased after. Indeed, she's closer to you compared to me, your biological sister. It's one thing to be hiding in her house, but you could’ve at le
Simon's towering silhouette stood beside Sharon, and there was a calm expression on his stunning face. "President Eugene, you love cracking jokes. She's my woman. It's not at all troublesome to look after her."Eugene could not give in to Simon when he saw the cold and proud look on his face. However, Simon did help him out a lot this time. 'I'll acknowledge this brother-in-law, then.'Simon bent down, carried Sharon, and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard Eugene talking from behind, "Thank you for your help this time, President Zachary."Simon's footsteps came to a halt. He did not turn around and just replied in a cool manner, "No worries. I was just helping my woman."Eugene heard it and could not help smiling. 'Damn you, Simon. Always mentioning your woman. I really don't wish to be related to him!'However, it was not up to him to decide that. 'As long as he's with Sharon, then he has to greet me as his brother!'…After five days, Quinn got a pastor over to hold a fune
